Special effects makeup artist hopes to scare up big prize

Nashville's newest reality TV contestant is definitely a break from the norm.

Tune in to Syfy at 8 tonight to see Music City resident Rick Prince testing his talents on "Face Off." The reality competition is a sort of "Project Runway" for special effects makeup artists. Each week, contestants battle to create the best movie-quality character - from aliens to robots to monsters and other fantastical creatures - for a $100,000 grand prize.

Prince has honed his makeup and sculpting skills creating animatronic characters for major theme parks. See a portfolio of his robotic/monstrous creations at www.rickprince.com.
